I'd really like to hear from any members who have successfully quit smoking. What was your method? Was it difficult? I'm referring to cigarettes only. I've been in and out of the quitting cycle using various methods.....patches, gum, spray. It works for a while then BAM!..... I'm at it...

Well, it would appear that me and the missus will be heading back to the U.S.A later this year. We will be heading to Arlington Virginia for 2 weeks, maybe a little longer. I'm a huge American Civil War hobby historian and will endeavour to visit Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Appomattox...

I just wanted to know if I could connect with any members from Boston as it's another US destination I'd like to go to soon at some point. I'm hoping to possibly initiate some PM conversations to get some info. Thanks everyone.

I was listening to his vocals in the car today. I really zeroed in on him for some reason. Boy howdy, this guy is a cat. He appears very well schooled in his technical facility and can really belt out some heavy vibrato. He seems to exude emotion and is pretty damn good on the guitar as well...

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone has used language learning apps in order to improve their language when travelling overseas. I've been using Duolingo and I guess I know more Indonesian than I did before I started using it. Ultimately the best way would be tutors, mixing with...

This is just fantastic.

Hi guys. I don't usually chat about heads much.....but when my heads are due, I'd like a change. I've always just chosen clear/2 ply batter and single clear resonant. If I was seeking heads that offered very low attack but lots of resonance and sustain........ would something like a coated...

I purchased a Gibraltar pedal cowbell thingamajig a few days ago. I've been exploring the 3/2 clave pattern ostinato against a basic slow money beat as I'm just starting. I can play a single paradiddle over it as well.....a bit wonky mind you. I'm exploring some upbeat 1/8 notes against a 6/8...

If so..... how do they fit amongst your kit? Any caveats you can think of? If anyone has any pics of their remote set up.......please post them.

I wanted to revisit an old fave tune of mine..... "Me Myself I" from Joan Armatrading. The floor tom on the intro is just simply outstanding. I never really paid much attention to them before.....but Jeez-Louise, they are incredible. Perfection in my opinion.

I've read on the forum that a well practiced, established drummer should be able to execute and exhibit clean, accurate strokes regardless of the surface. Considering the mechanics of buzz rolls, does this apply to them as well? Or do buzz rolls actually require a particular surface to be...

Hi team. So now it looks like I'll be hitting Utah in January of next year. So I'll be coming from scorching summer 38 to 45 degrees Celsius here to temps between -2 and 3 Degrees Celsius in Utah. I cannot fathom those low temperatures continuously during the day. My girlfriend and I have...

Hi guys...... Has anyone ever used really thick single ply heads as resonant heads on toms? Has anyone ever used G14 clears as both batter AND resonant heads? What's your perspective on that combination? Thanks team.

You are doing this country proud girls. We are not a strong soccer nation and we have a small population. But you ladies are fighting the good fight and we are into the semi finals now..... It would be great if we could win the FIFA Women's World Cup Final. AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!.....Oi Oi...

Hi all. Just wondering if any of you out there who are frequently gigging or touring are certified in CPR? I reckon it could be handy if your bass player suddenly chokes or your singer has an MI. Do any of you make sure that you are packing a good first aid kit on your drumming adventures? I...

Hi there to my friends. I made up this little 16th note paradiddle exercise that utilises the hands and L/R feet. For most of you it's not really difficult or challenging.......but I am having fun doing this exercise. I've turned it into a pdf so you can print it off if you wish. Enjoy and...

Hello to all my friends. I'd love to see what home theatre systems all the DW members have. What set ups do you have to watch/listen to your favourite movies or bands? I have a Yamaha RX-V6A receiver as a 7.1 configuration. Mission M5 tower fronts, all PSB alpha B1's as surrounds, Jamo...

Hi everyone 👋👋 I'll be flying to the States. Will most likely be much later in the year. We will be going to Salt Lake City in Utah. I'm very excited..... never been to the States before. We'll probably be there for about 2 weeks. There's a Guitar Centre and a pretty good drum shop I've...

Well, that kid is better than me already 😭😭😭

I read a really good post somewhere on this forum from a very clever member recently in regards to technique and playing surfaces. Essentially I believe from reading it that you should be able to play on any surface with no degradation of technical quality. So I tightened up my tom to see if...
